Disaster Debris Removal Crews Deployed in Orange County

Orange County Public Works crews deployed crews on yesterday, to collect large storm debris from Hurricane Milton. With the initial focus on vegetative debris, crews may make multiple passes to clear an area. Residents are asked to follow these guidelines:

1. Debris should be placed on the curb at the edge of the property.

2. The debris to be collected must be separated into the following categories:

Vegetative – Includes large branches, tree limbs, logs, and plants.

Appliances – Includes refrigerators, washers and dryers, and air conditioners.

Electronics – Includes televisions, computers, and similar smaller items.

3. Separate fencing materials from vegetative debris.
4. Place debris and debris piles AWAY from trees, poles, fire hydrants, water meters, or other structures.
5. Ensure that the debris does not block the road, sidewalk, or storm drains.
6. Leaves and small debris must be bagged, canned, or bundled and placed for collection with normal yard waste pick-up on the assigned day.

Hurricane Milton tore through Central and South Florida leaving fatalities and millions of dollars in damage behind. Milton reached land on Florida’s west coast as a category 3 hurricane with winds up to 120 miles per hour.
